The Toolik-Arctic Geobotanical Atlas (TAGA) is a web-based multi-scale collection of geobotanical maps and related material. It includes maps at seven different scales, from 1-m2 plots to the entire Arctic. The TAGA focuses on research sites at the Toolik Field Station and Imnavait Creek, Alaska, but also covers the Kuparuk River Basin, northern Alaska, Arctic Alaska, and the Circumpolar Arctic. Diverse geobotanical themes include geology, topography landforms, surficial geomorphology, soils, and vegetation. The unique aspect of this atlas is that many of the map units have full descriptions and photos of the map units and plant species in the units. The maps and website were developed at the Alaska Geobotany Center in collaboration with several other groups at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Visit the TAGA.
